My T has another T in our group who is the co-facilitator. We used to get the blog notes posted the night of our session. When this co-facilitator started, he took over the notes and they started getting posted 4 days later.

This had a serious negative impact on the activity on the blog because members would post while things were still fresh in our minds, and there would be a dialogue going. We raised it as an issue in group, and a number of members expressed their unhappiness about the notes going up so late in the week. This T said that he was working to try to get them up sooner, but 3 days seems to be the earliest that he believed he could get them up. Needless to say, we were unhappy.

I suggested that this T put a "placeholder" post after our session, so that members could still engage in dialogue about the session before the official blog notes were posted. We all agreed that this would be good, and he agreed to take this on.

Well, over the last few weeks, it hadn't been done, or at least in a timely manner. A couple weeks ago, I finally emailed the T asking him to put the placeholder post up. He thanked me for the reminder and put it up.

Then, last week, he didn't put the placeholder post up at all...and when the notes were posted, I commented to him, "This week, I find myself feeling even more discouraged that the placeholder for this week’s notes was not posted. I reminded you last week. However, this week, while feeling already discouraged – I decided not to do anything about it other than stew in the disappointment that if it’s not important to you as a facilitator, then I don’t care either."

I was angry. Of course, this was after all this other stuff was going on in group, and I was discouraged...so there was more to it than that.

During group earlier this week, no mention was made of it because we had a lot going on....

Then.....no placeholder post....not Tuesday night....not Wednesday morning....not Wednesday night....not Thursday morning....but FINALLY on Thursday night. GRRR.

So...the one obvious thing is I do care. But, I'm wondering, is this T deliberately not posting the placeholder because he wants me to address it a certain way? Or, is he continually forgetting because it really isn't a priority to him? I mean SHEESH!!?!?!?!?

I'm not quite sure how to address this, but I am this.close to giving up on the blog altogether out of resentment towards him.
